Hi there, thank you for the comment... and it's not a stupid question at all, hopefully I can explain it here ^^Once you have the basic shape that you are happy with, you copy it as many time as you would like (also depends on the size of the lace you're creating perhaps) and then simple move these copies around... overlap them on top of each other, resize them, rotate them, flip them etc... basically just have a lot of fun experimenting because a lot of great shapes and designs can be achieved simply by playing around with your basic layer.

LOL sometimes I even overlap and play with the new design that gets born out of the first play just to see if I can get anything more interesting out of it ^^well, I hope that makes sense
